IMPROVEMENT IN EGG-BEATERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 138,647, dated May 6,1873 app 1 ation filed February 8, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ETHAN HADLEY, of

Ohicopee Falls, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts,have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Egg-Beaters; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawing making a part of this specification andto the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawing is a representation of a perspective View of myegg-beater. Figs. 2 and 3 are details of the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in what is known as the Doveregg-beater, consistin g of a bent rod, with its ends attached toahandle, and two other rods of similar form revolving around it by meansof a bevel-gear wheel and pinions and my invention consists in thepeculiar construction of the pinions, as hereinafter particularlydescribed. I

In the drawing, A represents a round metallic rod or wire, which is bentmidway of its length so as to form two right angles, a a, from half aninch to an inch apart. The ends are then curved outward and inward untilthey form nearly a full circle from two to three inches in diameter,from the circumference of which, at points opposite the two right anglesa a, they extend radially for a suitable distance, and have their endssecured in a handle, B. G 0 represent two flat bars or strips of metal,which are bent in the same form as the rod A, and have their upper endsattached to pinions D D. In the curved portion of each bar 0 is a hole,through which one end of the rod A is passed until the perforatedportion rests immediately over the angle a. The upper portions of therod A form the bearings for the pinions D, being passed through saidpinions before being attached I the handle B. The pinions are operatedby a 1 ear-wheel, E, having its bearings on an ar 1 b, projecting fromthe handle. 1

Heretofore the pinions D D I ve been made of soft metal, such asBabbitti etal, or some similar composition, and the ba O 0 attached tothem by inserting the ends 1| the mold and pouring the metal around theIt has been found, in practic, that the softmetal pinions were not durabf. enough, but would soon become so much torn as to be comparativelyuseless. To re I dy this defect I make the pinion of cast-ironj r othersuitable hard metal, with a poly onal opening through the center, asshown f i Fig. 3, and I attach the ends of the bars 0 Li a soft-metalplug, F, corresponding in size, n d form with the opening in the pinion,and, having a central perforation for the rod A t pass through. Thisplug is constructed with urs or lugs on its outer surface adapted to pathrough corresponding openings in the b O, and hold them in position asshown. Sa l plug is fitted to the pinion, and the parts ar ranged asabove described. 1

What I claim as new, and sire to se e by Letters Patent, is i As animprovement on th 1 Dover Eggof two witnesses. 1
